Rebirth: Divine Doctor, Sweet Wife

This time, her scream was very piteous, and everyone in the house heard it.

Little Seven and Little Eight hurried over. Gu Qingyao heard it too and ran over to their room.

Gu Yundong and Zhou Ping were in their own bedroom, but the room’s door was open and the others could see inside it from the living room. Gu Jinlin happened to be at the door.

He looked in shock at his mother, who was in the room. For a moment, he could not react.

He had not really approved of his father hitting his mother the last time. But this time, he did not react at all.

He did not snap out of his trance until the two children and Gu Qingyao appeared.

Gu Yundong, who was in the room, immediately said, “Everyone, go back to your rooms. Don’t come here.”

Gu Jinlin hurriedly brought the two children back to their room and closed the room door.

“It’s nothing. Elder Brother will deal with it. Be good children and go to sleep.”

Then he came out and brought Gu Qingyao back to her room. He shut the door and told Gu Qingyao to stay in her room. Only then did he go to Gu Yundong and Zhou Ping’s room and shut their door.

This time, Zhou Ping suffered a terrible beating!

This time, Gu Yundong beat her brutally and mercilessly.

Previously, he was only angry at her attitude towards Yao Yao. She had gone too far, but had not yet pushed Gu Yundong to his limit.

But this was a completely different matter. She had overstepped Gu Yundong’s boundaries and he did not show her any mercy.

This time, Zhou Ping was severely beaten. She was sent flying and fell onto the bedside table, overturning the teacups and water jug. Her head hit the wall with a thud, and her forehead started to bleed.

Zhou Ping dabbed at the blood on her forehead in disbelief. She turned and said, “You beat me again?”

After more than twenty years of marriage and four sons, Gu Yundong had hit her twice, and only over the past few days. Each beating was more severe than the last.

Gu Yundong stood there with an icy expression. “You were asking for it!”

“What did I say that was wrong? Aren’t you aware of the Zhang family’s standing? Yao Yao should consider herself lucky if she marries Zhang Qiang…”

Gu Yundong slapped her again.

As a man, he had great strength, and the two blows caused Zhou Ping’s cheeks to redden and swell. Then Gu Yundong grabbed Zhou Ping’s collar and lifted her up.

“Of course, I know what the Zhang family is like. You also know Zhang Qiang’s character. Under these circumstances, how could you talk about marrying Yao Yao off to that useless man? Zhou Ping, did you really think I wouldn’t dare to discipline you? How could you say something so heartless?”

Zhou Ping’s eyes flickered, but she kept silent.

Gu Jinlin only watched and did not attempt to stop his father when he turned violent this time.

“Mother, Yao Yao is already engaged to Beihan. How can you speak like that?”

Zhou Ping was infuriated. “I… I’m only hoping for the best for the Gu family. Mo Beihan is an excellent man, but no matter what, he cannot compare to Zhang Qiang. Look at the Zhang family’s circumstances. What is Mo Beihan in comparison?

“If Yao Yao marries into the Zhang family, our entire Gu Family will benefit. Also…”

“So you don’t care what kind of man Zhang Qiang is. You will just happily give them Yao Yao?” Gu Jinlin ground his teeth. If his younger cousin were not in the next room, he would be roaring at her.

Zhou Ping refused to back down. “Then… hasn’t Zhang Qiang taken a fancy to Yao Yao? With the Zhang family’s standing, are we in any position to refuse? What can we do besides allow Yao Yao to marry him?”

“Mother…” Gu Jinlin was furious. His mother had completely disappointed him.
